and see if you can solve the problem yourself before calling your

dealer or TEAC service center.

General

No power

eCheck the connection to the AC power supply. Check and

make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that,

the AC outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or

fan into the outlet.

such a disc in a CD recorder and try again.

eCheck the dock adapter.

eRemove dust or obstacles from the Dock connector of the

MC-DX220i and the iPod, and insert the iPod again.

Will not play.

eRemove the iPod from the dock, wait a few seconds, and

insert it again.

eSoftware update may solve the problem. Visit the Apple

website and download the latest iPod Software.

Tuner

eTune in the station properly.

eRotate the FM or AM antenna for the best reception

position.

Though the broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.

ePress the FM MODE button.

If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the

power cord from the outlet and plug it again.

If the power switch of the subwoofer turned off, the

settings kept in memory (clock, preset stations, timer

setting) will be erased.

Troubleshooting

Beware of condensation

When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm

place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a

danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on

the internal mechanism, making correct operation erratic or

impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit for

one or two hours with the power turned on. The unit will

stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or

use diluted mild liquid soap. Never spray liquid directly on this

unit. Apply your cleaner to your cleaning cloth and wipe

gently. Be sure to remove any excess completely. Do not use

thinner, benzene or alcohol as they may damage the surface

of the unit. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely

before using.
